It’s been a little while since we’ve shared a transformation, but this one was definitely worth showing off! ⌚️🏊‍♂️

This backyard went from outdated to completely refreshed with a full pool renovation.

We removed the old glass block wall between the pool and spa, and installed beautiful new tile to create a cleaner, more modern look. We also added new coping, new pool decking, a brand-new pool finish with Element pebble from our friends Tempool Inc., and removed the old pool enclosure.

The difference is amazing — the backyard feels so much more open, spacious, and inviting. Sometimes one change can completely transform the way you enjoy your outdoor space!

This project turned out fantastic, and we’re excited to share the final result. 🙌

BIG NEWS FROM THE BIG Z TEAM! 🛠️💦
When I’m not fixing pumps, installing heaters, or handling remodels, I’ve been working on a secret project with my talented wife, Brittany. Today, we are officially launching our very first pool-related children’s book: "Sammy the Super Skim Net!" As a pool contractor, I know that every piece of equipment—no matter how small—has an important job to do. We wanted to bring those tools to life to teach kids about purpose, teamwork, and bravery right in their own backyards.

Whether you’re a long-time client, a friend, or just love a good Florida adventure, we’d love for you to meet the Shallow End Squad!
